Johann Friedrich Crome

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Friedrich Crome (born March 20, 1906 in Dransfeld , † April 9, 1962 in Berlin ) was a German classical archaeologist .

Johann Friedrich Crome was a son of the Göttingen museum director Bruno Crome (January 4, 1877 - February 12, 1933) and his wife Elisabeth, née. Flinth (December 17, 1880 - December 7, 1969). He was born the first of five children.

Crome studied classical archeology in Göttingen and Munich from 1927 and received his doctorate in the autumn of 1932 under Hermann Thiersch at the University of Göttingen with the work Das Bildnis Vergil . At the University of Göttingen he was already working on the publication of the antique gems in the collection of prints from the 18th and 19th centuries before his doctorate . In 1933/34 he was awarded the travel grant of the German Archaeological Institute , with which he was able to travel to the Mediterranean. From 1934 to 1937 he was an assistant at the Athens Department of the German Archaeological Institute . He then became an assistant at the University of Göttingen, from 1939 to 1943 he taught there as a lecturer in classical archeology, then at the University of Posen . Since 1937 he was a corresponding member of the Accademia Virgiliana in Mantua (since 1958 a full member). After the war, he was no longer able to gain a foothold in archeology because of his work as Reichsreferent for German university professors . He lived as a private scholar temporarily in Oldendorf near Celle, then again in Göttingen, later in Berlin-Nikolassee , and continued to publish archaeological articles.

After the war, Crome became politically active again. As a politician of the German-Hanoverian Party , he ran for the federal union for the federal election in 1957 in constituency 36 and in fifth place on the list. However, the alliance did not exceed the required 5 percent hurdle .

Crome had five children from his first marriage to Inge Wichmann, which was divorced in 1935. From the second marriage - with Jutta Crome (born 1916), a great-granddaughter of the Justice Council Friedrich Crome - came another daughter.
